Pérez Art Museum Miami’s (PAMM) Caribbean Cultural Institute (CCI) presents a reading group session inspired by Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich: Too Bright to See (Part I), a film installation focusing on the legacy of Martinican writer Suzanne Césaire, currently on view at PAMM.

Participants will think through Suzanne’s writings in a space for collective reading and reflection on her literary work and legacy. The session will be led by scholar Annette Joseph-Gabriel and film curator and writer Dessane Lopez Casell, who will guide and encourage a generative conversation around Suzanne’s work. The session also includes a poetic offering by Martinican poet and writer Simone Lagrand.

During this reading group session, we will focus on a selection of essays written by Suzanne Césaire from the book The Great Camouflage: Writings of Dissent (1941–1945), edited by Daniel Maximin.

“The Great Camouflage” (pp. 39-46)
“Alain and Aesthetics” (pp. 11-18)

Participants will receive a link to the selected reading material upon registration.
